More on the Menace of Random
Trojan dlls and Drivers ...

We also noticed more and
more downloads of Spyware coming down on users PC
without their acceptance from browsing of specific
sites, in the form of random dlls in system 32 location
and registry entries in various locations such as run,
SSODL or shared task scheduler. Our, very own, Spyware
finder tool is continously browsing Internet 24x7
and finding spyware from such locations
automatically. Our Spyware Lab thinks that it is not
HoneyPot but Goldmine,
it makes their day to be the first one to process just
newly -born Spyware, which no one has found so far.

Recently we also released
Zlob patch which included new Spyware which are brought
down on users PC through this Trojan, creating entries
in Appdata location and random dlls in system32 . This
infection showed a fake security warning page suggesting
customers to buy several Defender programs. We already
released patch for that.

We appreciate any feedback
on our products from our valuable customers. You would
also notice daily news updates on our Spyware patch
releases. You will also find more detailed information
on the Spyware Encyclopedia pages which can be reached
either from Spyware
we Remove Link or by clicking on the Spyware Detector
itself after a particular Spyware is detected, by clicking
on Threat Information Link right next to the name of
the Threat detected.

Please continue to support
this effort by reading this blog for latest information
on new spyware releases. We will not rest until Spyware
writers give up and let the users of PCs enjoy their
computing as it was intended to be without any slowdown,
without fear of losing Privacy and with no advertisements
or other unwanted nuisances.
